Famous quotes containing the word philosophy:

    “Wonder is the feeling of the philosopher, and philosophy begins in wonder.”
    —Plato (c. 427–347 B.C.)

    “The very hope of experimental philosophy, its expectation of constructing the sciences into a true philosophy of nature, is based on induction, or, if you please, the a priori presumption, that physical causation is universal; that the constitution of nature is written in its actual manifestations, and needs only to be deciphered by experimental and inductive research; that it is not a latent invisible writing, to be brought out by the magic of mental anticipation or metaphysical mediation.”
    —Chauncey Wright (1830–1875)
